Hey #Google and other #Media:

THIS IS NOT HELPFUL 😠

Repeating the *same* story with the *same* thumbnail FORTY-NINE TIMES is not helpful. At all.

I understand that news orgs routinely pool their stories to save money. I suppose this is mostly Google's fault since they selected the stories. But couldn't news orgs try to be a little creative on their headlines and/or thumbnails? Sheesh.

My local (right-leaning) news is really running stories like this today, in case anyone’s wondering how “informed” the modern American voter is. 🙄

Do media outlets even retype this up or do they just cut/paste last years 'you should feel bad about celebrating new years' articles? #newsfail

We have three 24/7 news channels in the US and this morning they're all reporting on the situation in other countries instead of reporting about the devastation wrought by Helene in their own country. #NewsFail #CNN #MSNBC #FoxNews

#NewsFail: If you read a Lee Enterprise paper (#LaCrosseTribune, #ChippewaHerald, #WisconsinStateJournal), you probably don't know that the #OrangeDipshit just got indicted... unless you really dig deep.

Not a word on the landing page of any of those papers.
